I love this sauce! It is savory from the herbs but lighter than butter, cream or mayonnaise sauces. Traditionally, Germans make this for the summer; they boil/steam potatoes and serve the hot potatoes with this over it (think like sour cream). This yogurt sauce is perfect on just about everything; I am experimenting by putting it on different items and using it in different ways. :o)
In the summer, no one wants to eat anything too heavy! Plus, yogurt has all those good health benefits (gut bacteria and calcium)!!! I make this with fresh herbs from my garden, and I cannot keep this in my house!
Quark
Serves 8-12 (depending on the use)
32 oz plain Greek yogurt (can use low-fat or non-fat, but I usually use the full fat)
1 cup green onions, chopped (1/2 cup dried chives)
1 cup parsley, chopped (1/2 cup dried parsley)
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
- Mix ingredients together.
- Adjust seasonings (amounts were guidelines).
- Chill at least one hour if not overnight before serving.
Experiments:
>Sauteed onions, spinach, and mushrooms together while baking some fish with salt and pepper. Assembly: spinach mixture on the bottom, fish on top, and a healthy dollop of quark on top of the fish. Verdict: DELICIOUS!!!!
>As a spread. YUMMY!!! *Note: Ben ate all of it before I remember to get a picture! Just spread some on bread or crackers as a light snack!*
>With gravlax (cold smoked salmon) and the spinach mushroom mixture (what can I say? I love it!). FABULOUS!!!
>Mix with COLD potatoes for a new twist on potato salad! FANTASTIC!!!
